Parking Ban Okd At Fountain Square

May 28, 1992

ELK GROVE VILLAGE — Village trustees have approved a parking ban aimed at eliminating traffic congestion on residential streets near the popular Fountain Square water theme park near Biesterfield Road and Gibson Drive.

Effective from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. during June, July and August, the ban applies to various stretches of Atlantic Lane, Biesterfield Road, Gibson Drive, and Potomac Lane, marked by no-parking signs.

The ban is designed to avoid a repeat of last summer`s situation when hundreds of people flocked to the park daily and parked along the streets. Since then, the Elk Grove Park District has worked out an agreement with Community Consolidated School District 54 to use the lot at Mead Junior High School across the street for parking.

The ban does not apply to residents of the neighborhood. Violators will be fined $25 to $500.
